I PSA SCIENTIA POTESTAS EST
Knowledge is power
Bilgi Güçtür
(Sir Francis Bacon – 1597)
Es ist nicht genug zu wissen, man muß es auch
anwenden;
Knowing is not enough, we must apply the knowledge;
Bilgi yeterli değildir; onu uygulamamız gerekir
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – 1809)
Es ist nicht genug zu wissen, man muß es auch
anwenden;
es ist nicht genug zu wollen, man muß es auch tun.
Knowing is not enough, we must apply the knowledge;
wanting is not enough, one has to act.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – 1809)
United Nations World Water Conference,
Mar del Plata, Argentina, 14-25 March 1977
Resolves that:
“All efforts should be undertaken at the national level to increase
substantially financial resources for activities related to water-resources
assessment … ”
and
“Countries should expand and extend the network of hydrological and
meteorological stations, taking a long-term view of future needs
……………..To improve the management of water resources, greater
knowledge about their quantity and quality is needed. …”
Second World Water Forum
The Hague, The Netherlands,
March 2000
"Wise decision making must be based on sound
Knowledge which in turn requires scientific analyses.
Science is therefore not a luxury. What is more, it
needs adequate data bases in order to draw
conclusions."

Data integration and disseminiation
Chaired by

Session 6.4.2
How do we convert data into
usable information?
• Is the SEEA-Water a step forward in meeting the
demand for integration information needed for water
policy and management?
• How can the use of common concepts, definitions
and classifications be encouraged?
• How do we establish best practices for data
collection and management (including data
integration, storage, access and dissemination)?
